VibrantNation.com is an information website for older women. Its editorial director, Susan Lee Ward, works hard and produces a lot of the content herself. But she doesn't exist. She's a profile under which the other site authors publish. Susan Lee Ward is "a summation of what our members tell us about themselves", so she serves as the embodiment of the site's target market.
Virtual employees could be everywhere on the web, even here. For example, if Alex Santoso, the "owner" of Neatorama, didn't exist -- if he was just a virtual construct -- how would you know?
As workplaces move increasingly online, expect more of this practice.

The theory was that people were less likely to yell at a female so putting a female name on the bottom of a collection letter would keep them a little calmer.
Defeated NBA player Lebron James in HORSE.

Lebron James: HORSE
David Kalb: 0
It looked like dunking was not allowed in the game. Lebron would have won handily if it were allowed.
And I'm guessing Kalb can't dunk. Which means if James dunked it every time, he would have won. Obviously that wouldn't be fair since Kalb has physical limitations preventing him from dunking.
But yeah, Kalb trained himself to be a pro-HORSE player, and he won pretty easily. Were they to play a game of 1-on-1, I think James would probably win.
Also the 2 to 0 is likely to be 2 HORSE games won to 0.
Just like in most real life endeavors.
